Democrat Riggs Gains Narrow Lead in NC Supreme Court Race
TL;DR
Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs has taken a narrow 24-vote lead over Republican Jefferson Griffin in the race for a North Carolina Supreme Court seat, with over 5.5 million votes cast. Griffin initially led by 10,100 votes on election night, but absentee and provisional ballots have shifted the lead to Riggs.
